generations

people who are going to be

in a few years

bottoms of trees

bear a responsibility to something

besides people

if it was only

you and me

sharing the consequences

it would be different

it would be just

generations of men

but

this business of war

these war kinds of things

are erasing those natural

obedient generations

who ignored pride

stood on no hind legs

begged no water

stole no bread

did their own things

and the generations of rice

of coal

of grasshoppers

by their invisibility

denounce us
